This Is Who We Are: The Myth of American Innocence
Manage episode 517706058 series 3699799
Every time America does something cruel, violent, or inhumane, someone says, “This isn’t who we are.” But what if it is? In this episode, we confront America’s favorite myth: its innocence. With empathy and fire, we unpack the stories we tell ourselves to avoid accountability, from our founding lies to our modern denials. We tear down the illusion of moral exceptionalism and ask what most people are afraid of: what if the problem isn't a few bad apples — but the whole damn orchard?
Healing doesn’t come from pretending — it comes from finally telling the truth. It’s not un-American to admit who we are. It’s the only way to become something better.
